antoine Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 it would be good if metric and ft and inches could be shown on the same drawing. why/. most of the world today uses metric but people still want to see feet and inches in certain countries.

Joe_Carrick Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Antoine, Just use a Secondary Format in the Dimension dbx. You can do it on an individual dimension string or in your Dimension Defaults. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn't be too difficult using the Number Formatter Class. But Chief may already have something I haven't looked for. Actually the 3 object specific macros can be used and modified using 3 corresponding custom macros to provide the alternative displays. This can be done in a RTB place in the Room. I use RTB's for all my Room Labels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Here are a couple of my "Room Macros" that will provide the "Secondary" output for the "internal" and "standard" areas. This is just a sample of what is going to be in that Macro Package. These macros can be placed in the Default Room Label - or in a Text Box placed in a Room. Whatever the current system (Metric or Imperial) the macros will display the opposite data. Stay tuned after the 1st of the year for a complete listing of all my macro packages. I will be adding a similar macro to display the Secondary "Room Dimensions" Secondary Room Areas.json 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you try just importing it in a plan via TMM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
